BROCCOLI, CARROT AND SWEET POTATO SOUP

As part of my weekly weekend routine, I make a big pot of soup for the week. What I like about the following soup is the combination of carrot, sweet potato and broccoli. You could make this soup without broccoli or instead of broccoli add cauliflower. I used a hand blender to puree part of the soup.

In a large soup pot, sauté the onions and celery in the oil for 5 minutes until softened. Add the carrots. If the vegetables are sticking to the bottom of the pot, add a little bit of water. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes longer. Add the broccoli, potato, sweet potato, lentils, herbs and bouillon. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for about 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

Using a hand blender or a blender, puree about half of the soup. Add the milk and margarine. Season to taste. Makes about 10 servings.
